• Communicate and collaborate with others using digital technology, for example, email, Glow or other platforms.

From Education Scotland National Improvement Hub “What digital learning might look like”:

“When learning about sharing their ideas and thinking learners might:

* Create texts indifferent media, such as a class news report with a green screen where they have a background to simulate a report from an exotic or dangerous location, such as the moon or a volcanic eruption
* Use apps, such as Chatterpix, Talkr, Sock Puppets or Puppet Pals, to create short films that demonstrate their skills or understanding of a topic, for example: French vocabulary, explaining a maths process or a HWB drama on friendship
* Present information in a chronological sequence, with PowerPoint or Keynote, including relevant images and information about events in a topic, such as The Romans or Our Local Area
* Create a collection of information in an organised (but non chronological) format, such as a table about animals for Science, with data, including: number of legs, habitat or species”

From Education Scotland National Improvement Hub “What digital learning might look like”:

“When learning about tools that help us learners might:

* Use the iPad Measure app alongside traditional measuring instruments, such as tape, ruler or metre stick, to measure everyday objects
 * Use the stopwatch app on a digital device to measure time during P.E. when running races or taking turns with equipment
* Create a spreadsheet, using Excel or Sheets, to keep a record of times throughout the term
* Use the slow-motion video or photobursts functions on a device’s camera to determine who was first to cross the line in a race or whether someone’s foot crossed the line before jumping
* Use the time-lapse video recording function to detail the direction of the sun when exploring how shadows work
* Use the slow-motion in order to examine how surface tension is present on water when popping a water balloon (see Slow Mo Science on Apple Books)
* Access class novels and reading books in a range of formats, including audio books, Office Lens or a built-in screen-reader (such as on iPad or in O365 Word). Learners can use these  tools to personalise their learning and are especially effective in supporting emerging readers, those with speech and language needs, or speakers of a foreign language”

From Education Scotland National Improvement Hub “What digital learning might look like”:

“When learning about online communications learners might:

* Access learning through online collaboration sites, such as Microsoft Teams or Google Classroom. Learners might
complete a reading comprehension activity with questions or peer assessment through sharing a digital text
and then receive feedback from the teacher on the site
* contribute examples of learning updates to the class blog, this could be a video of a drama sequence, a song written about topical learning or an animation explaining what they’ve learned”
